Description of the problem | Periodically the vehicle will attempt to accelerate i. E. The engine will rev up as if the accelerator pedal was being depressed when the brake was applied. This has occurred three or four times since i purchased the vehicle on 1/9/10. The majority of the time this has happened at low speeds like when i was in a parking lot but the most recent incident happened when i tried to make a sudden stop to avoid a puppy in the middle of the road. I was unable to stop in a safe period of time. If there had been another vehicle or person in front of me i would have been unable to avoid hitting them. If i continue to press firmly on the brake the acceleration will stop but the time it takes to stop is greatly increased. |
